Some Signs of Impending AC Issues

Many things can go wrong with your air conditioning, and a variety of symptoms can signify that something isn’t right. Watching for these can alert you to impending air conditioning problems, letting you know that you may soon need air conditioner or heat pump repair. The sooner you can catch these developing issues the better. So, it always pays to pay attention. Here are some signs you should watch for:

Unusual noises — especially grinding, squealing or whining sounds

Frost build-up around the air conditioner’s or heat pump’s cooling coil

Failure of your AC system to provide sufficient cooling

Lower-than-usual airflow through the system

Strange, unpleasant or musty odor coming from the unit

Liquid pooling around the base of the unit

Higher-than-usual utility bills

Short-cycling as the system keeps trying unsuccessfully to cool your home

Repeated tripping of the circuit breaker while the unit is running

These are all signs that you should have your AC system checked by a professional AC repair technician as soon as possible. Our AC experts are always available to help you determine the cause of any unusual symptoms your system may be displaying.
